IV. Talent Options
There are three talent trees for the warrior: Fury, Arms, and Protection. Whichever you choose to specialize in will set your warrior in a certain direction, making you different from the rest. Each of the trees carries a different theme: Fury is a high rage generating tree (meaning more rage for abilities, causing more damage) aimed primarily towards dual-wield users, although 2h users can benefit from it; Arms is a high-damage generating tree aimed primarily towards slow, 2h weapons; Protection is the tree of mitigation and agro control, making it great for instances.
Choose your talents wisely: starting at level 10, you will gain one talent point per level, and it is quite costly to retrain your talents (you can do this at your warrior trainer), and it becomes increasingly expensive to do so each time you “respec.” So try to get it right the first time. I would personally recommend an Arms or Fury based talent line until you get to level 60, because Protection is painfully slow for grinding and questing, and then possibly respecing to Protection at 60 for the big instance dungeons that are very hard, and for which it would behoove you to be a protection warrior (protection makes it easier to tank, and therefore easier to run instances, as you will primarily be the main tank).
Here are a few talent combination possibilities:
The Arms/Fury MS Build (my current build, and in my and many other level 60 warriors’ opinion, the best build for PvP):
Fury Mastery
Cruelty Rank 5
Improved Demoralizing Shout Rank 5
Piercing Howl Rank 1
Improved Battle Shout Rank 4
Enrage Rank 5
Fury Total:20
Arms Mastery
Deflection Rank 2
Improved Rend Rank 3
Improved Charge Rank 2
Tactical Mastery Rank 5
Improved Overpower Rank 2
Deep Wounds Rank 3
Two-handed Weapon Specialization Rank 3
Impale Rank 2
Axe Specialization Rank 5
Sweeping Strikes Rank 1
Improved Hamstring Rank 2
Mortal Strike Rank 1
Arms Total:31
Total
Total Points Spent: 51
Level Required: 60
Note: Many would say to drop a point from improved charge and put it into anger management, as it somehow gives you 1 extra rage every tick while in combat, but the ability description does not say so, so I will not be putting a point into it.
Another possibility is the Fury/Arms Dual-Wield build, which consists primarily of Cruelty, Unbridled Wrath, Improved Battle Shout, Enrage, Flurry, the Improved Rend > Impale Line, Improved Overpower, and tactical mastery. I am no expert on such a build, however, as I haven’t used one since the mid 50s. Try something like this, but again, I am no expert:
Fury Mastery
Cruelty Rank 5
Improved Demoralizing Shout Rank 5
Unbridled Wrath Rank 5
Piercing Howl Rank 1
Improved Battle Shout Rank 1
Improved Execute Rank 2
Enrage Rank 5
Death Wish Rank 1
Flurry Rank 5
Fury Total: 30
Arms Mastery
Deflection Rank 2
Improved Rend Rank 3
Improved Charge Rank 2
Tactical Mastery Rank 5
Improved Overpower Rank 2
Anger Management Rank 1
Deep Wounds Rank 3
Impale Rank 2
Sweeping Strikes Rank 1
Arms Total: 21
Total
Total Points Spent: 51
Level Required: 60
Although there are other nice little variations on build, the last main build is a Protection/Arms build (that has 5 in cruelty still, of course). I discourage people from this build, however, as it is highly ineffective for soloing (and no matter what build you choose, most XP will be from soloing). If you wish to be better than average for tanking, but still be a good soloer, I recommend the MS build, except rather than the 20 in Fury, something similar to this (this is a type of "hybrid" build, and not the best for pure protection):
Fury Mastery
Cruelty Rank 5
Fury Total:5
Protection Mastery
Shield Specialization Rank 5
Improved Bloodrage Rank 2
Toughness Rank 3
Last Stand Rank 1
Improved Shield Block Rank 1
Improved Revenge Rank 3
Protection Total:15
However, I would still recommend the previously mentioned MS build, as this build really doesn’t improve tanking significantly enough to outweigh the loss of PvP and soloing. But I play on a PvP server, so I'm sure things are different for PvE people.
I haven't played a protection build since the late 40s, but here is a build that I might suggest (there could be variations on the build, and I don't claim to be any sort of expert on this type, but here's something to get you started):
Fury Mastery
Cruelty Rank 5
Fury Total: 5
Protection Mastery
Shield Specialization Rank 5
Improved Bloodrage Rank 2
Toughness Rank 5
Last Stand Rank 1
Improved Shield Block Rank 1
Improved Revenge Rank 3
Defiance Rank 5
Improved Sunder Armor Rank 3
Improved Taunt Rank 2
Improved Shield Bash Rank 2
Concussion Blow Rank 1
One-Handed Weapon Specialization Rank 5
Shield Discipline Rank 1
Protection Total: 36
Arms Mastery
Deflection Rank 5
Tactical Mastery Rank 5
Arms Total: 10
Total
Total Points Spent: 51
Level Required: 60
And that concludes my talent section. I hope you learned something
